Terms of the deal were not disclosed, but Data Tactics is expected to generate about $50 million in 2014 revenue.

“Data Tactics adds key capabilities in Big Data analytics to L-3’s portfolio, a very attractive and specialized domain that immediately enhances L-3’s existing National Security Solutions business and supports its growth as a solutions integrator for the national security and international markets,” said L-3 chairman and CEO Michael Strianese in a statement.

The acquisition also fits with L-3’s strategy to find adjacent markets for its intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance business, he said.

Data Tactics was founded in 2005 to focus on data analytics, cloud computing, ultra large-scale data management, cybersecurity, software development and integration capabilities.

The company also brings proprietary solutions, including a big data engine platform, a high-speed analytics and cloud computing platform. Data Tactics also is a prime contractor on several security programs.

The investment bank Houlihan Lokey served as an advisor to Data Tactics.
